The global computer numerical control market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.55 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration with the industry, the rise of additive manufacturing, increased use in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), a focus on sustainability, enhanced software capabilities, demand in healthcare and biotechnology. Major trends in the forecast period include energy-efficient solutions, miniaturization and micro-machining, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), customization for small-batch production, and a shift towards open-source CNC systems.

The surge in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to drive the growth of the computer numerical control (CNC) market. As the automotive industry increasingly shifts towards electric propulsion, CNC technology plays a pivotal role in the automated and cost-effective manufacturing of electric vehicles. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in May 2022 that global electric car sales doubled to 6.6 million in 2021, with an additional 2 million units sold in the first quarter of 2022, emphasizing the growing need for CNC technology in the production of EVs.

The proliferation of industrial automation is a key driver propelling the growth of the computer numerical control (CNC) market. CNC machines, integral to automated systems, contribute to enhanced efficiency, precision, and seamless integration with advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). ABB Ltd.'s survey in March 2022 revealed a notable shift in attitudes towards automation in the UK, with 81.2% of manufacturing companies considering robot investments, showcasing the increasing role of automation. This trend aligns with the industry's move towards smart factories and Industry 4.0 standards.

Major players in the computer numerical control (CNC) market are gaining a competitive edge by developing cutting-edge machines with nanometer axis resolution. Axis resolution, representing the smallest incremental movement, is a critical factor in achieving high precision in mechanical or electronic systems. ANCA CNC Machines, in December 2022, introduced the MX7 ULTRA, a premium machine boasting nanometer axis resolution for manufacturing cutting tools. This technology ensures exceptional accuracy, improved surface finish, and batch consistency, reinforcing the market's focus on advancing precision and quality.

Leading companies in the computer numerical control (CNC) market are at the forefront of innovation, introducing AI-based monitoring solutions to stay competitive. NUM AG's launch of NUMai software in January 2021 exemplifies this trend. This innovative artificial intelligence solution enables condition monitoring in CNC machine tools without the need for additional sensors. The software, compatible with NUM's Flexium+ CNC systems, provides cost-effective condition monitoring capabilities. It collects operating data, teaches a neural network to recognize normal machine behavior, and offers online performance monitoring and diagnostics, contributing to efficient and reliable CNC machine tool operations.

In September 2021, Sandvik AB, a high-tech engineering company based in Sweden, successfully acquired CNC Software Inc. This strategic move expanded Sandvik's capabilities by incorporating the Mastercam software package, a leading computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) brand, into its portfolio. CNC Software Inc., a US-based software company, specializes in providing CAD/CAM software solutions for manufacturing industries. The acquisition reinforced Sandvik's position in the CNC market, offering access to a large user base, a robust reseller network, and collaborations with top machine makers and tooling firms.
